Theileria is one of the most important blood protozoan parasite and a major constraint to the dairy industry and causes devastating losses to the livestock worldwide. Theileriosis is caused by Theileriaannulata and is transmitted through Hyalomma anatolicum. The present report demonstrates the successful therapeutic management of theileriosis in calves. Clinical examination of affected animals revealed high fever (1040 F), dullness and anorexia. The blood smears examination after staining revealed the presence of Theileria organisms. Buparvaquone along with supportive therapy could cure all the animals.
